Angelus

You know I’m here @dmccombe7, with a long wheel base van. Happy to help, when I can, but sorry I couldn’t make the gig this time.

Bought some stands from Russ, great transaction. Thank you.

My first pub gig since lockdown. Interesting crowd, most had been to see the Ladyboys of Bangkok before coming to see us? Great night though.

Played a small function for a charity this afternoon. First time with a crowd in so long. Was actually so much fun catching up with the band again. We went from a weekly rehearsal and played four nights in a row the weekend before the original lockdown.

Eileen passed in May this year, tragic. As we were all in other bands, this became our second band, so it was decided that after the WhatsApp group of “Band 2”, we just changed to Banned 2. Would be good to see you and your good lady, any Friday.

Nightfly this Friday, with their new drummer, then wee Ted next Friday ( his first gig since his wife passed, so it might get emotional without her there watching? ) and then me on the third of September ( first outing with a new drummer and lead guitarist ), so I better get rehearsing. 🤣

Looking forward to seeing the new band Dave. Keep us posted if you get a local gig. 👍

Bought an SM58 from Carl, arrived quickly, well wrapped and in perfect condition. True gent. 👍

Received the SM 58 today, thank you @carlsim. 👍

Interested to know how you felt afterwards too Sarah. After a 20 year break, I done half a dozen gigs in 2019 and had a dozen or so lined up for 2020, but we all know how that went. Now I'm itching to get back out and start again.

Actually sounds like a ProTools plugin, that has removed almost all other tracks with computer trickery?

Bought a Gotoh D-Tuner from WarPig, delivered fast. Thank you.

Twice in 2019 I had to loan a bass to someone for their gig. One was a charity gig, young band going on early and had never played through a PA, you couldn’t hear the bass over the buzz it was making, so loaned him mine. Second time was a band setting up in my local, guy sound checked, but couldn’t get a peep out of the bass when they were due to start. I’d had a couple of pints, but only lived two minutes away, so said if someone gave me a lift home, he could have something to get him through the gig. Good deed done and guy was eternally grateful, ( and I drank free all night ).

Like others have said, vocals only and a wee pair of ton’s would be fine. Cheap powered cabs with a wee desk ( something with a couple of effects, or a Helicon for just the lead vocals ) would be fine. Ridiculously cheap, to see if things work out are; https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/191021350125008-5041785--behringer-dr110dsp-ex-demo-9193 As soon as you start adding other stuff through the PA, you will eventually progress to 12’s. Then eventually for bigger venues, you’ll add subs.

Bought a gig bag from Paul, everything went smooth. Thank you Paul, much appreciated.

Bought a Badass II bridge and it arrived quickly, well packaged. Thanks. 👍

Received my pedal today, thank you. Reliable, communicative and courteous.

Very smooth transaction and very quick to post the jazz I bought, thank you John. 👍 Lee.

Bought a Nate Mendel Precision from Stuart, exactly as described and posted fully insured. @StuarDaddy thank you, 👍 Lee.
